This part of IEC 60079 provides guidance for the application of electrical resistance trace heating systems in areas where explosive atmospheres may be present, with the exclusion of those classified as requiring EPL Ga/Da (traditional relationship to Zone 0 and Zone 20 respectively). This standard also provides guidance for explosive atmospheres incorporating the Division method of area classification that may be applied by some users of this standard. NOTE Information on the Division method is given in NFPA 70 and CSA C22.1. It provides recommendations for the design, installation, maintenance and repair of trace heating systems including associated control and monitoring equipment. It does not cover devices that operate by induction heating, skin effect heating or direct pipeline heating, nor those intended for stress relieving.

P60079-30-1
IEEE/IEC Draft International Standard - Explosive Atmospheres -- Part 30-1: Electrical resistance trace heating -- General and testing requirements
This part of IEC 60079 specifies general and testing requirements for electrical resistance trace heaters for application in explosive atmospheres with the exclusion of those for Equipment Protection Level (EPL) Ga and Da. This standard covers trace heaters that comprise either factory or field (work-site) assembled units, and which may be series trace heaters, parallel trace heaters, trace heater pads, or trace heater panels that have been assembled and/or terminated in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions. This standard also includes requirements for termination assemblies and control methods used with trace heating systems. The explosive atmospheres referred to in this standard are those defined in IEC 60079-10-1 and IEC 60079-10-2. Annexes D and E outline the application of this standard for those users applying the Division method of area classification. This standard supplements and modifies the general requirements of IEC 60079-0, except as indicated in Table 1. Where a requirement of this standard conflicts with a requirement of IEC 60079-0, the requirement of this standard takes precedence.
P60079-30-2
IEEE/IEC Draft International Standard for Explosive atmospheres -- Part 30-2: Electrical resistance trace heating -- Application guide for design, installation and maintenance
This part of IEC 60079 provides guidance for the application of electrical resistance trace heating systems in areas where explosive atmospheres may be present, with the exclusion of those classified as requiring Equipment Protection Level (EPL) Ga/Da (traditional relationship to Zone 0 and Zone 20 respectively). This standard also provides guidance for explosive atmospheres incorporating the Division method of area classification that may be applied by some users of this standard. NOTE Information on the Division method is given in NFPA 70 and CSA C22.1. It provides recommendations for the design, installation, maintenance and repair of trace heating systems including associated control and monitoring equipment. It does not cover devices that operate by induction heating, skin effect heating or direct pipeline heating, nor those intended for stress relieving.
Standards approved by the IEEE SA Standards Board that are within the 10-year lifecycle.

These standards have been replaced with a revised version of the standard, or by a compilation of the original active standard and all its existing amendments, corrigenda, and errata.
515-2004
IEEE Standard for the Testing, Design, Installation, and Maintenance of Electrical Resistance Heat Tracing for Industrial Applications
Specific testing requirements for qualifying electrical resistance heating cables and heating devices for use in industrial applications, as well as a basis for electrical and thermal design, are included. Applications include unclassified, and both North American and Zone classified areas.
515-2011
IEEE Standard for the Testing, Design, Installation, and Maintenance of Electrical Resistance Trace Heating for Industrial Applications
Specific testing requirements for qualifying electrical resistance heating cables and heating devices for use in industrial applications, as well as a basis for electrical and thermal design, are included in this standard. Unclassified applications and explosive atmosphere applications that use both Divisions and Zone methods of classification are included.
515-2017
IEEE Standard for the Testing, Design, Installation, and Maintenance of Electrical Resistance Trace Heating for Industrial Applications
Specific testing requirements for qualifying electrical resistance trace heating for use in industrial applications in ordinary locations, as well as a basis for electrical and thermal design, are included in this standard.
These standards have been removed from active status through a ballot where the standard is made inactive as a consensus decision of a balloting group.
No Inactive-Withdrawn Standards
These standards are removed from active status through an administrative process for standards that have not undergone a revision process within 10 years.
No Inactive-Reserved Standards
